There is no “over”, only “done”

This post is #41 in a series of 50 dedicated to the art and life of writing, in support of the 50 for 50 Project to benefit WriteGirl. If you like it, or if you think it could have been improved by a better writing education for its author, please give generously. And pass it on.

We were a hair’s breadth from reaching the $50,000 mark when I said, okay, I typed into Facebook, that I hoped I’d be able to get the above video posted to the web before this whole thing was over.

Your hair-brained scheme to raise $50K in 50 days has given us even more than it’s about to give WriteGirl — the truth of “thy will be done” with the honor and the pleasure of watching and helping you do it. I’m sure no one doubted it.

“Communicatrix” is about to be adopted as a verb. Congratulations on this chapter ending, and the always, and the “next!”

I know it’s not the end yet, but it’s been such a thrill watching the total tick up and up, keeping almost exactly on track with where it needs to be each day, until BLAM!, shooting through the target all of a sudden this weekend! It was so nice to add my contribution, knowing that it was gravy and not needed to reach the goal (although, still needed in general. More! More!). Congratulations Colleen! What a fabulous achievement.

Hooray! I’ve been holding off, in case you needed reinforcements, but now I will simply throw my contribution into the victory parade. Go you. I am really truly impressed. $50,000 is a lot of money, and WriteGirls such a wonderful cause.

I’m crying and laughing watching you, and feeling the gratitude and joy of what you’ve generated here.
Good work, citizen. Celebrate big and enjoy knowing that many girls and women are writing because of you.
And enjoy the breeze on that new cue ball you’ll be sporting! SO sorry I won’t be at the party.
